Who's ushering in a new era of pop-culture-informed lottery tickets? This guy!

This is one of the first pieces I've done for the Lottery that I'm really excited about. It really feels like this was one of the first times that I got to just run wild and free on a Scratcher, making it just how I wanted it.
Note: inspired in part by the closing credits of Kung Fu Panda.
I love this Scratcher, even if I was slightly worried that it would get me stuck in the Schtick of anthropomorphic chiles. Luckily I have a lot coming down the pipeline that has nothing to do with anthropomorphic chiles.
Created for a story about inflation. This actually got the approval from a grizzled old newspaper man at UNM, he told my boss it was exactly the point and that I should get paid more. I never did get paid more there. Oh well, how much money could I expect from a college newspaper?
I did this years ago for a Daily Lobo article about the Day of the Dead, and it is still one of my favorite illustrations. I got to spend what was, at the time, an extraordinary amount of time on it because the story came in so early. At a time when I was whipping out illustrations in an hour on a moment's notice I got to spend 11 hours or so over two days on this masterpiece.
This was my first Scratcher game for the Lottery, so it's been really exciting to see it out in the world. Illustrating it was tons of fun, but let me tell you: I've got bigger, better things in store!
Part of a series leading up to super tuesday. I illustrated a number of them, and also created the package title for the whole series.
